When selling mobile homes, what license must a real estate broker obtain?

To sell mobile homes in California, obtaining a mobile home dealer license is essential for a real estate broker. This license is specifically required for individuals or businesses that engage in the sale or lease of mobile homes, which are classified differently from traditional real estate properties. The regulations surrounding mobile homes include specific laws and requirements that differentiate them from standard real estate transactions.

A general real estate license would not cover the nuances and stipulations involved in mobile home sales. Similarly, a property management license is focused on the management and operation of rental properties, while a construction license pertains to the building and renovation of structures rather than sales. Therefore, the mobile home dealer license provides the necessary qualifications to ensure compliance with the laws governing mobile home sales, facilitating proper practices and protecting both the broker and the consumer in these transactions.
